TimOthy Hay.
FLUSHING, 0, June 10,

FLUSHING, o, June 10, 1887.
Mr.. EDIToR-I gee In TIE CHRoEI-
Gle an article headed, practical Farm
ers' Meeting" Among other topics, the
time for cutting Timothy hay was dis
cussed, and it was decided that timothy
hay should be cut when In bloom.
Now. 1 beg leave to differ with them,
Timothy cut when in bloom loses its
strength. The sap at that time is thin,
and just as soon as the stalk Is cut, 1t
runs out-hence, when it is cured. the
strength is lost. Let timothy stand un'
til the sap has changed to what may be
called preserving gum then cut it, and
you will find that it will do stock more
good.
This is my experience. The sap is
the life of the grass. If this is lost in
cutting and curing, Of what benefit is
the hay? A SUBSCRIBER.
